In January I will have my remaining right ankle fused. When I had the other bit of my ankle fused a few years back it was successful but a shit 9 months before I could get on a bike or do anything vaguely active. This led to ‘mild’ depression although that is mild on my own scale, never formally checked. I just knew that if on a ship I wouldn’t jump over board but also wouldn’t jump the queue for the life rafts. I count that as mild.
Now I am a month or so away from going through it all again and am not looking forward to it. Anyone who has read my threads will know I am not shy or worried about sharing Sensitive Private Personal Information (SPPI) occasionally so I was wondering if there was any benefit in starting a blog. The aim of the blog is multi-fold.
Primarily it will be to educate/entertain people about what is involved in recovering from another ankle fusion.
Secondarily it will hopefully give be some reason to bother. Bother to do anything, talk to anyone and not be a bastard to my wife because I am bored.
Thirdly it might be fun/useful.
The basic challenge is that I live what I consider a basically normal and boring life and cannot imagine other people being interested. The only counterpoint to this is the way other people refer to me as ‘different’ or ‘unusual’ some times.
